NieR was a charming game, but NieR Automata Endings Guide|Https://Nierautomatafans.Com/: Automata seems to have the potential to surpass it in basically every aspect. With PlatinumGames providing its trademark stylish action, Akihiko Yoshida bringing his beautiful character design, Keiichi Okabe's music and the visionary direction of Yoko Taro, the pieces are really starting to fall in place.

In all our previous projects, we sound designers made individual settings for echoes to fit the exact shape of each area in the game.

Often sequels end up failing to be as charming as their predecessors, but this definitely not the case with Gravity Rush 2 . The game improves on Gravity Rush in basically every aspect, and not just by a lit

The Biggert Shocker award goes to the game that really surprised us. Final Fantasy XV did. Considering that it has been delayed, you would expect it to be a bit rough around the edges, but it simply isn't.


After that, more gameplay was showcased at the 00:28:20 mark, introducing some of the RPG element of the game, including the refugee camp that will serve as one of the settlements and a weapon shop, that incidentally sold weapons from the Drakengard series. Incidentally, the Engine Blade , coming from a collaboration with Final Fantasy XV, will be tied to a quest in the g


The producer also confirmed that the game would be PS4 Pro optimized, and confirmed than an Xbox One release was on the cards depending on how NieR: Automata sales fair from the game's launch early next year. From our time with the game, the action sequences look to have heavily improved, and Platinum Games will be banking on an enveloping storyline and smoother combat keeping fans hooked. While we have some concerns about large bland locations and a lack of cannon fodder enemy variety, it's clear that NieR: Automata looks like a marked improved on the original, and action RPG fans should consider the title when it eventually releases across the gl

What games have you been playing this weekend? Did you heavily praise the sun after dying for the 9999th time in the newly released Dark Souls III? Did you give a chance to the open beta of Doom and destroyed demons all night long? Let us know!


Gran Turismo Sport is definitely a polarizing game. Many might find it cold and impersonal, but that makes it feel like a perfectly engineered piece of precision machinery exactly like the cars it simula

But alas, we have only one award to give, and Battlefield 1 's absolutely stunning and extremely fun desert map brings it home. And the horses... oh the horses... They're unbelievably fun. If you see one available on the battlefield, grab it.

During a livestream on Twitch hosted by several members of Naughty Dog, tons of new information was revealed about upcoming PS4 exclusive Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End : gameplay, length and difficulty of the game, photo mode and much more. You can read about it in the article.


Because it's an action RPG genre, there is a main story, but we do have side quests as well. While we do call them side quests, some of them actually have chapters within themselves as well.

On top of that, Saito also confirmed that there are more mounts aside of previously revealed deer and boars, commenting cryptically that not every mount may be an animal. The addition of several difficulty options this time around will also make for an easier playthrough experience, a sharp contrast from the difficult-by-default original NieR . The game will also feature an 'Auto Mode' for those who fail to progress through the action sequences but still want to experience the st
